Insert Profile Equal Curvature


The Equal Curvature constraint can be used to constrain two participating entities in a 2D profile to have equal curvature at a specified point. To apply the constraint, after starting the command, simply click on the two entities. The program immediately applies the constraint and adds the identifier adjacent to the point of constraint. From a practical design point of view, this command enables you to constrain two entities at G2 continuity, at a specified point.

Note
For G2 continuity, the requirements are such that, at the point of continuity, the curves should be tangent continuous and curvature continuous. So, by combining the Tangency constraint and the Equal Curvature constraint, you can effectively assign G2 continuity between two curves.
For further details on curve continuity, see "Continuity Types" in the online help.

The functionality of the command will be apparent if G2 curvature continuity is to be maintained. To do so, follow these steps:
